[erlang-questions] child processes order of termination

Hi,

On application stop what is the order of termination of the supervised
processes?

For example, the supervisor's children are defined as follows:

{ok, {{one_for_all, 5, 1},
     [
        {module1, {module1, start_link, []}, permanent, 2000, worker,
[module1]},
        {module2, {module2, start_link, []}, permanent, infinity,
supervisor, [module2]},
        {module3, {module3, start_link, []}, permanent, 2000, worker,
[module3]}
    ]
}}.

In what order they will be terminated? Is it determined?

The module2 is also a supervisor, will its children be terminated before
proceeding with the top one?

Thanks,

Martin
